A. That bet seems like good value to me, it is not that likely for him to break the record especially if the conditions are bad and sometimes if the wind direction and speed are wrong even if he break the record it doesn't count.

A. for those who answered first, he is asking about athletics, as in Track and Field event. anyway, there is some changes in your list here. I think Veronica Campbell will no longer defend her 100M title in Beijing because she failed in their country's Olympic trials but she will run in the 200-meter. Oscar Pistorius on the other hand, hasn't qualified yet in the Olympics. allyson felix usa 200M a strong favorite to win the women's 200 meter torri edwards usa 100M wants to redeem herself with Marion Jones controversy. and with Campbell not running in the 100meter, her chances to win the gold go brighter. kerron clements usa 400M hurdles world champion in this event last year, will try to add an Olympic gold medal in this event. … [cont.]

is marion jones' son guaranteed to be a fast runner when hes older?
Q. Marion Jones (gold medallist at 100m olympics albeit a cheating one) had a baby boy with tim montgomery (also an olympic 100m gold medallist in the 4 x 100) so my question is, assuming this boy doesnt e.g. have a car accident and get paralysed or receive a huge injury to his legs etc.. is he pretty much guaranteed to become an extremely fast runner? Even if he wasnt interested in athletics and didnt take it up as a sport would he still be well above average in the 100 metres? Its just that i read the other day about marathons that they thought it would be interesting if a marathon runner & a marathon runner gave birth to a child.. would it end up as a world record holder and yet... well, that has actually happened except in sprinting!!

A. he'd have a better chance of being a sprinter than say a marathon runner in my opinion...but nothings guaranteed in life. wouldnt that figure...15-20 years from now...the son of marion jones and tim montgomery becomes a top world class sprinter..but he still isnt able to escape the shame of both mom and dad.
